213 - Spells
  • 213.1 - Every nonland card is a spell while it's being played (see Rule 409, "Playing Spells and Activated Abilities.") and while it's on the stack. Once it's played, a card remains a spell until it resolves, is countered, or otherwise leaves the stack. For more information, see Rule 401, "Spells on the Stack." [CompRules 2003/07/01]
  • 213.2 - A spell's card type, supertype, and subtype are the same as those of its card. [CompRules 2007/10/01]
  • 213.3 - The term "spell" is used to refer to a card, or copy of a spell or card, while it's on the stack. [CompRules 2007/10/01]
  • 213.4 - Every spell has a controller. By default, a spell's controller is the player who played it. [CompRules 2003/07/01]
  • 213.5 - If an effect changes any characteristics of a spell that becomes a permanent, the effect continues to apply to the permanent when the spell resolves.
    Example: If an effect changes a black creature spell to white, the creature is white when it comes into play and remains white for the duration of the effect changing its color. [CompRules 2003/07/01]
